Introduction
Vitreous opacity of the eye is treated according to specific conditions to cure the disease. Physiological vitreous opacity does not require treatment and does not affect vision; iodide agents may be used when necessary to alleviate symptoms. For pathological vitreous opacity, laser vitreolysis can be performed to disrupt the opacities, reducing their size and relieving symptoms. Alternatively, a minimally invasive surgical procedure can completely remove the vitreous body to treat the condition.
Vitreous opacity of the eye should be treated according to the specific condition of the disease, which helps achieve recovery. It is generally classified into physiological vitreous opacity and pathological vitreous opacity.
1. Physiological vitreous opacity
Physiological vitreous opacity is a chronic condition that does not require special treatment and usually does not significantly affect vision. If necessary, iodine agents may be used under a doctor's guidance to help alleviate symptoms of vitreous opacity.
2. Pathological vitreous opacity
For pathological vitreous opacity, laser vitreolysis can be performed under medical supervision to disrupt the opacities, reducing their size and relieving symptoms. Alternatively, minimally invasive surgery can be used to completely remove the vitreous body, helping prevent serious complications such as retinal detachment that may result from vitreous liquefaction. Additionally, strict control of blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipid levels can reduce adverse effects on the vitreous.
After diagnosis of vitreous opacity, active treatment under medical supervision is essential to avoid delaying the management of the condition.
